Synopsis

From Namco's acclaimed weapon-based fighting series comes the fourth chapter in the series (and first for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3). Delivering new gameplay modes, characters and enhanced features with unprecedented 3D modeling and animation, Soul Calibur IV aims to be a definitive fighting game experience.

Review Scores

Soul Calibur IV isn’t a revolution, but it’s one hell of an evolution. Although it does little to redefine the fighting genre, it manages to further advance the franchise with improvements across the board on an already fantastic foundation.
Pros
  • + The most balanced Soul Calibur yet
  • + A plethora of new characters, including the likes of Darth Vader and Hilde
  • + Heart-stopping graphics with a flawless framerate
Cons
  • - Slightly lackluster online experience
  • - Lack of original single-player modes
   8.5
Awesome
